BUENOS AIRES—Argentine President Cristina Kirchner left hospital on Sunday to continue recovering at home from surgery to remove a blood clot near her brain.

"The president is in very good spirits," her spokesman, Alfredo Scoccimarro, said in a televised statement. Mrs. Kirchner is required by doctors "strictly to rest" for 30 days and avoid flying until further notice, Mr. Scoccimarro said.
